NOW INCLUDES LODGES IN DELAWARE...
~ Posted: 03/16/2020:
Well, Delaware has fallen in line with MD as well as PA - closing bars, restaurants, etc and limiting meeting to 50 or less people.
What was sent out earlier relative to MD lodges can now be used relative to DE lodges as well, refer to my earlier email to the DDGERs.
Same rules and requirements now apply to all lodges of our Association as well as the lodges of PA.
Mike and Angela be sure your lodges in DE are aware of the situation.
John you should probably expand your earlier message to include DE and have Joe get it on the website and distributed via his email dump.
Thanks to all and if you have questions let me know.
